On Thursday, Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:LLY) reported second-quarter revenue of $11.3 billion, up 36% year over year, easily surpassing the consensus of $9.95 billion. The increase was driven by a 27% increase in volume and a 10% increase due to higher realized prices. The volume increase was primarily driven by growth from Mounjaro, Zepbound, Verzenio, Taltz and Jardiance, partially offset by the sale of rights for Baqsimi in Q2 2023 and declines in Trulicity.

This week's huge selloff in global markets, triggered by an unwinding of yen-funded trades, is far from over and could eventually spread to credit markets, impair some banks and possibly hurt the U.S. dollar, fund managers say. By Thursday, market volatility had subsided but stock markets struggled for direction and investors tried to guess how many more yen-funded leveraged trades remained to be unwound. The market mayhem since last Friday - which pushed Japan's Nikkei index into bear market territory and caused the benchmark U.S. S&P 500 to crumble 6% in five trading days - was triggered by a Bank of Japan rate rise last week, that gutted billions of dollars worth yen-funded trades as the yen soared 10% in a month.  ( 68 min )

A sharp slowdown in the U.S. job market that touched off days of global stock-market turmoil also fueled speculation the Federal Reserve may not wait until its next scheduled meeting, in September, to cut interest rates. Indeed, an interest rate futures contract expiring later this month that tracks Fed policy expectations shot to a two-month high earlier in the week in a bet that rates would be lower by the end of August. An increasing number of analysts are now penciling in a half-a-percentage-point rate cut for the Fed's September meeting.  ( 69 min )

Megacap and growth stocks swung between gains and losses in premarket trading and extended some pressure from the previous session, partly after Treasury yields rose on soft demand for a $42 billion sale of 10-year notes.

Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite posted losses of at least 3% each on Monday after weak economic data raised worries of a U.S. recession and the unwinding of sharp positions of carry trades that fund high-yielding assets. U.S. central bank policymakers pushed back on Monday against the notion that weaker-than-expected July jobs data means the economy is in recessionary freefall, but also warned that the Federal Reserve will need to cut rates to avoid such an outcome. Traders currently see a 75% chance of a 50-basis-point cut in Fed interest rates in September, down from 98% on Monday and expect the year-end rates at 4.25%-4.50%, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.  ( 67 min )

Warren Buffett’s conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway ($BRK.B) may have shocked some over the weekend when it was disclosed that it had cut its massive Apple (AAPL) stake in half as it released its latest round of quarterly earnings results.

Despite the giant question marks, I remain bullish on Berkshire Hathaway stock. As you’d expect, t  ( 69 min )

Wall Street analysts are almost unanimous in their view that semiconductor giant Nvidia (NVDA) will rocket higher. However, options traders apparently have a different take, placing contrarian wagers against NVDA stock. The situation has now become a matter of which narrative investors trust more.

A powerful rally has lifted Japan's Nikkei and Asian stock markets, and European and U.S. stock futures indicate they will follow too. Given the confluence of factors that drove the selloff - Japan's rate hike, an unwind of yen-funded global trades, weakness in U.S. jobs and Middle East tensions - strangely, all it took was a soothing message from central bank officials to turn things around. As Europe wakes up, the Nikkei is up 9%, nearly erasing the 12.4% decline on Monday that pushed it into bear market territory.  ( 67 min )

Investors said the aftershocks of a massive carry trade that has reverberated through global financial markets wasn't done yet, with more unwinding in the days ahead raising the risk of shake-outs to other assets. Concerns about the markets were exacerbated by investors winding down yen-funded trades that had been used to finance the acquisition of stocks for years after a surprise Bank of Japan rate hike last week. The so-called 'carry trade' is commonly used in currency markets where investors borrow money from economies with low interest rates such as Japan or Switzerland, to fund investments in higher-yielding assets - this time stocks - elsewhere.  ( 68 min )

Global markets have kicked off the week in full selloff mode, with measures of volatility shooting up by the most on record in a single day, while equity futures and cryptocurrencies plummet, reviving memories of past crises. A rise in Japanese interest rates on July 31 has made bets on a cheap yen - many of which funded purchases of assets with better returns - less profitable. Tokyo's Nikkei index finished Monday with a 12% loss, the largest one-day drop since the aftermath of "Black Monday" in October 1987, when a stock market crash stripped nearly 15% off this index and 20% off the S&P 500.  ( 68 min )

A meltdown in world equity markets in recent days is more reflective of a wind-down of carry trades used by investors to juice their bets than a hard and fast shift in the U.S. economic outlook, analysts say. While Friday's weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data was the catalyst for the market sell-off, with Japan's blue-chip Nikkei index on Monday suffering its biggest one-day rout since the 1987 Black Monday selloff, the employment report alone wasn't weak enough to be the main driver of such violent moves, they added. Instead, the answer likely lies in a further sharp position unwind of carry trades, where investors have borrowed money from economies with low interest rates such as Japan or Switzerland, to fund investments in higher-yielding assets elsewhere.  ( 69 min )

Warren Buffett appears to have soured on stocks, letting cash at Berkshire Hathaway soar to nearly $277 billion even as the conglomerate posted a record quarterly profit from its dozens of operating businesses. The $276.9 billion cash stake as of June 30 soared from $189 billion, in part because Berkshire sold another large portion of its stake in Apple. Second-quarter operating profit rose 15% to $11.6 billion, or to about $8,073 per Class A share, from $10.04 billion a year earlier, with nearly half coming from underwriting and investments in Berkshire's insurance businesses.  ( 66 min )

Exxon Mobil on Friday posted a better-than-expected $9.2 billion second-quarter profit based on rising output from its purchase this year of shale oil firm Pioneer Natural Resources. Exxon delivered a $2.14 a share profit that beat analysts' estimates on oil production and pricing gains that offset refining weakness. Higher profit "was driven by record production both in Guyana and in the Permian," which offset lower natural gas and fuel prices, Chief Financial Officer Kathryn Mikells said.  ( 67 min )

Among other major earnings, Intel tumbled 21% after forecasting third-quarter revenue below estimates and suspending its dividend starting in the fourth quarter.

Economic concerns are once again showing up on Wall Street's radar, as worries grow that months of elevated interest rates may be starting to hurt U.S. growth. For months, investors had been heartened by cooling inflation and gradually slowing employment, believing they bolstered the case for the Fed to begin cutting interest rates. Now that a September rate cut has come into view following a Fed meeting earlier this week, investors are worried that the central bank may have left rates at restrictive levels for too long, allowing them to take a toll on economic growth.  ( 68 min )

It's been a rollercoaster ride of a week and Friday is shaping up to be no exception for investors, with risk assets in particular set for a heavy beating when Europe wakes up. All it took was a softer-than-expected ISM report on U.S. manufacturing for markets to start fretting about the economic outlook and abandon their optimism over the Federal Reserve's signals on a September rate cut. The fear now is that the Fed may be behind the curve in easing rates, and traders have priced in an even greater chance of a 50-basis-point cut next month, versus the previous consensus of 25 bps.  ( 67 min )
